A home move without the guesswork
Moving house is the single biggest logistical job most people ever organise, and almost all of the stress comes from not knowing what happens next. Our home removals service removes that uncertainty. Before you book we walk through your property room by room — either in person or over a quick WhatsApp video call — and tell you honestly how many hours and how many movers the job needs.
On moving day we arrive with the van already prepared: moving blankets, transit straps, a stair-climbing sack truck, floor runners, wardrobe rails and tool kits for dismantling beds and flat-pack furniture. Fragile items are wrapped before they leave the room, not in the back of the van, and every load is strapped to the rails so nothing shifts on the M60.
Because we bill by the hour rather than a padded fixed price, an efficient move genuinely costs you less. There is no charge for stairs in a house, no fuel surcharge inside our core coverage area, and no VAT bolted on at the end. You will pay the rate you were quoted for the hours actually worked.
Most one and two-bedroom homes across Manchester, Wigan and Warrington are completed in a single load thanks to the 15 cubic metre load space. Larger properties are usually done in two runs on the same day, so you still sleep in your new home that night.

Home removals FAQs
How much does a house move cost?
£45 per hour for one man and van, or £70 per hour for two men and van (minimum 2 hours booking). Most two-bedroom houses take four to six hours door to door, so a typical local move lands between £280 and £420 with two movers.
Will everything fit in one van?
The Ford Transit LWB gives 15 cubic metres of load space, which covers the vast majority of one, two and three-bedroom homes. If we think a second run is needed we tell you at the quote stage, not on the day.
Do you charge for stairs in a house?
No. Stairs inside a house are included in the hourly rate. Per-floor surcharges only apply to flats and apartments, and lift access is always free of charge.
How far in advance should I book?
Two to three weeks is comfortable, and Fridays and month-ends go first. That said, we keep space for short-notice moves and can often help within 48 hours.
Do you dismantle and reassemble furniture?
Yes. Beds, wardrobes, table legs and flat-pack units are dismantled at the old address and rebuilt in the right room at the new one, all within the hourly rate. Bring us the allen keys and we bring the tools.
Are my belongings insured during the move?
Yes. We carry goods in transit and public liability cover on every home removal, and everything is wrapped in blankets and secured with straps inside the van before we drive away.
Can you pack my house for me?
We offer full and part packing. Tell us how many rooms you want covered and we bring boxes, tissue paper, bubble wrap and tape, then label every box by room so unpacking is straightforward.
Which areas do you cover for house moves?
Manchester, Wigan, Leigh, Bolton, Atherton, Golborne, Lowton, Hindley, Tyldesley, Shevington, Ashton-in-Makerfield, St Helens, Warrington and Preston, plus long-distance moves anywhere in the UK.
When and how do I pay for my home removal?
Payment is due on completion once everything is unloaded. We take bank transfer or cash, there is no deposit on standard local moves, and the hourly rate you were quoted is the rate you pay — no fuel or VAT surprises.
